What would be a good gift for someone who likes drawing? Something very sweet, but not over the top.

Ideas?

Maybe a small specialist drawing kit, chinese brushes or something. A fancy notebook with nice heavy paper.

Yes, yes, but what would be good examples of these?
I don't draw myself that's why I'm asking ;-)

Are you asking for brand names or something?I think you'd probably find something appropriate if you just browsed around an art supplies shop.

I'd always be wary buying something like this. Peoples tastes in drawing materials tend to be very specific.

Any good gift is risky. What would have decent chance of being an awesome hit?

If you were to get something too specialist there's a good chance she won't know how to use it and it'll just gather dust, and if you get something basic you know she can use, it's about as special a present as printer cartridges.

Are there no other interests she has you could consider?

I suppose it depends, I work as an illustrator and I'm very choosy about the materials I use, I wouldn't expect anyone else to be able to pick something for me and it seems to be that way for a majority of people I speak to.

I also don't think most boxed sets and gift packs are good value for money at all, they're always ridiculously high priced.
I suppose if your friend is just dabbling in vaguely artsy stuff as a hobby, a pack of paints or something will give them something to try, but if they're taking it seriously then you're either highly likely to buy the wrong thing, or as >>2728 said, it'll just be something utilitarian and possibly quite boring.

What you could do however is get something like an Etch a Sketch or a Munny or some other shit, something that people of all skill levels could enjoy and you won't have as much danger of getting the wrong thing.

Is there any chance I could speak to you? An IRC date or throwaway email?

Sure, but is it something that you couldn't ask here?

I'd rather not if that's ok. Pick one?
